Harden of the Mutual Oil company, got off the teapot he should be elected. "I have a call out for an interview with Mr. Harden." the president's lat ter said. Pall replied that Darden's purpose was to "tie up" the reserve snd that he should be elected without court action. L'pon the conclusion of Secretary Roosevelt's testimony the committee closed Its doors to go through another batch of telegrama. Utile additional Information was received from examination of the meerrages. which were supplied from :the Washington office of the Western t'nion. Tomorrow the committee will take up the report of accountanta who hare audited brokers' books and will call several other witnesses in clear ing the way for the inquiry into the Leonard Wood. Jr., story about an attempted oil deal at the Chicago con vention in 1920. Tammen called Christian's atten tion to an article in the Post on the election of the Mutual company from Teapot. Christian transmitted the letter to Pell with a request for ma terial on which to base an answer and Kali responded with a history of the naval reserve, and a discussion of the legal controversy raised as to titles upon It. It was Ihe djty of the navy, the interior secretary's reply insisted, to protect the reserves and. he added. that the marines were the navy's po lice force for that purpose. resldent Harding waa personally acquainted with. -a "certain gentle man," chiefly concerned in thu Mu tual Oil company attempt to secure Dome oil. and took a hand himself the Pall letter Indicated, In trying to dissuade his acquaintance from pur suing the enterprise. This "certain t-entleman" refused to yield to the president's representations.. Senator Walsh asked who the "eer tain gentleman" was but the witness said he didn't know, senator Bur sum, republican. New Mexico, asked if there wss any precedent for the marine activities and the witness re plied that none could be found In the records In the navy department. He added that there was an opinion among naval men that a threat to use the marines In California for a simi lar purpose had n made some years before. . Roosevelt said he had casually men tioned the sending of marines to Tea pot to president Hording, who had approved. 'There was nothing In my mind but to protect the tuval reserve,'- Rosue- Y'lt said. Characterialtig ihe sending of ma rines to Teapot as an "outrageous use Daogberty was In Colambus. she said, when she saw Colonel Dardea a1 "the- shack." "1' know they had something that they were considering." "There was something wrong, some where," she continued. "They did drop Mr. Darden." "What brought this about was that Darden did not measure up." said Mis Slinsoo. ' "Measure np to what?" demanded Senator Aahurst- They dropped bun," was the an ewer. Questioned by Senator Wheeler, an swered, "yes," when asked if Smith was a partner "In these various deals On that she said her chief knowledge came from Smith. She said she kne "of a deaf between Daugherty ant! Darden of which Smith had told ber She said Smith gave Darden into and he told her Daugherty gave the same amount to Darden. "They bad a deal in an oil proposl lion out wee(, she said. Smith told ber. she said, that Col otel Darden "for years has been try lag to get through some leases some way through Washington, prior to this administration." "If this lsnt a pipe dream It may probably make us a lot of money," she said Smith told her. "Harry Daugberty and Jesae Smith put In I2444 apiece," sbe reiterated. Senator Wheeler went back to tbe Carpentler-Dempsey fight films. Miss Stinsoc said the proposition was thai transportation of the films was a legal violation and it the films could be transported without prosecu tion "they" were to receive $1M0 'Whether that was ever consummat ed. I do not know." Certain "picture companies" unnam ed she said, were to be in negotiation with Smith, be told her. In reply to questions sbe said Smith was the go between for the sttorney general and Picture companies- A transaction in Pacific oil stock was then brought up by Senator Wheeler.. Miss Slinsos said It was in the fall of 19:i. Pacific Oil. - and Manhattan Shirt shares were placed with Smith's bank era and afterward -taken away, she said. Miss Stinson did not know Smith got the stock. Smith withdrew the stocks suddenly" from tbe brokers. She de nied that Smlltt said the stock was given to him. from the frght pictures the testi- mon veered to "a deal" in whlcn Smith and Daugherty. the witness said, had each put l:40 with Colonel J. O. Warden, who. Smith told her. she said, "had been trying for yean to get some leases through the gov ernment. Th committee had subpoenaeo 'Itorden. but were unable to find him. The mysterious little green house on K street.' which the witness saia he understood was owned by Edward B. McLean, the Washington puBltan- er. again figured in the testimony as 'did the "shack" near Columbus, owned by Daugherty. Smith and others. " There were meetings and "deals in both places. Miss stinson said, "be cause they could be private." Then- the witness described a con versation she said she overheard be tween Smith and Joe Weber, the iictor. It related to getting a parole Jor "a Mr. Solomon." the actors irother-in-law. The talk, she said. waa "how to fix It wnn uaugneny. Before the committee met today Attorney- General Daugherty issued unother statement declaring the In res ummon "could be fully and finally disposed of In a week or ten days II only pertinent Inquiries were mane. The attorney general also wrote to Chairman Brookhart protesting the ssuance of committee aubpoenas for Uaston B- Means and Thomas Older, on the ground that the) would receive Immunity under Indict ments pending against them in New York. The letter was laid before the com mittee, but some members were dis Msed to Insist upon hearing Means and Kelder.

"They . were Interested in things Jointly and he thongM b. could pay his part from the remnneratiou," she continued.' "In New York after the Dempsey fight," Miss Stinsoa said. "Smith in troduced her to Joe Weber, the actor." She said she overheard a conversa tion betwene Smith and Weber re al in g to a Mr. Solomon, whom sbe be lieved was Weber's brother-in-law. "There was discuss ice-of now they -uld get a parole for hire" she said Senator Wheeler asked if there was toy talk of "fixing It with Daugherty." "That was the conversation, what It was about." she said. Smith, she said, was "afraid to talk at first me being a third party." There were several talks about the Sotr-mon parole, she said. "Was there any reference to any money transaction in it." asked Sena tor Wheeler. "He said ce"s awfuly cheap." re plied Miss Stinson. "'He wants something for nothing I don't know, whether he will do anything about -a. cr, not." ". .. The eleven tbourssd dollar account with Vngerleider and company which Ma Daugberty took over as executor of Smith's estate was brought In. Daugherty had told ber. Miss Stinson said, that It really belonged to her. When she hired a lawyer named Ben nett to take up ber figbt for It, sbe said, tbe lawyer retired from tbe case because she was determined to come to Washington and testify In the sea- ate hearing. . The lawyer whom she identified as "Smith Bennett" wanted to communi cate with tbe attorney general about it.
